Videos

In this video I talk about the efforts in Congress
that were aimed at college level students who, for a
variety of reasons mostly not of their own making, left
them unlawfully present in the U.S. and blocked from
seeking a higher education. The classic case is that of
a child who came to the U.S.A. with an illegal immigrant
parent and now many years later is unable to go to
university because of what happened while the student
was a child many decades earlier. I talk about the
failure of the U.S. Congress to pass the so-called Dream
Act and how urgent the need for U.S. immigration reform
really is.

Canada-US Border and Security Discussions - Pace Law
Firm

In this video I talk about the main issues that come
up in Canada- U.S. immigration such as visitor’s
visas, the differing ways in which each country
treats permanent residents of the other, and the
effect of Canadian pardons in criminal matters on
the ability of Canadians to enter the United Sates
as visitors.

Canadian Immigration Lawyers - Common Questions

In this video I talk about the cost of using an
immigration lawyer, what are the advantages of
working with one, and my unique advantage in the
area of immigration law, namely, that unlike most
others, I am both a U.S. and a Canadian immigration
attorney and I have actually practiced in both
countries.

Immigration News - Alberta Seeking US Workers for
Oilpatch

In this video I talk about the Province of Alberta in
Canada and what opportunities there are for skilled
workers to come to Canada to work in the oil patch,
particularly in places like Fort McMurray in the oil
sands. I discuss how it would be wise for Canada to look
south to the United States next door to find the skilled
workers Canada needs, such as for example, U.S. military
vets who are skilled and looking for work opportunities
in view of the recession in the United Sates.

Canadian and US Immigration: What happens when you have
a criminal record?

In this video I discuss how a criminal record will
block a person from crossing the border into the United
States or Canada in many instances. I talk about minor
infractions and how sometimes those may not impair an
entry but that in most instances you need a U.S. waiver
or a Canadian Temporary Resident Permit to get across
the border.

U.S. Immigration Basics - Various Options

In this video I outline the five basic options
available to an immigrant to come to the United
States, namely asylum, family sponsorship, student
studies, work permits and investment.

Accused War Criminals in Canada

In this video I talk about Canada’s use of the
immigration system to clear out individuals accused
of former war crimes. Instead of proving a war crime
accusation beyond a reasonable doubt, immigration
prosecutions need only to prove such an accusation
on the balance of probabilities - a lower standard
of proof applied in immigration tribunals. I mention
that often what is really taking place is that
criminal law is parading as immigration law and that
there is an erosion of the rule of law in those
instances.

Immigration and Infrastructure

In this video I talk about the $ 140 billion
municipal infrastructure deficit in Canada and how a new
Canadian investor immigration program to address this
debt to pay it off without costing Canadians money
through higher taxes. The idea involves devising a
program similar in nature to the U.S. EB5 program that
would target specific municipal infrastructure projects
and match them with investor immigrants overseas in a
way that would bring the investors a safe investment
with a competitive return while also facilitating their
immigration to Canada as permanent residents in a
flexible framework that would feature speedy processing
and the ability of the investor to bring his or her
family to Canada yet look after matters overseas as
well. The video calls on those interested to work with
Pace in implementing such a program.
